Answer:

  9, the sum of the numbers given in the ratio

Step-by-step explanation:

The reduced ratio 2 : 7 means that two parts correspond to one length and 7 parts correspond to the other length. That is, there are a total of 2+7 = 9 parts in the full length of the segment.

It is convenient to think of the line segment as being divided into 9 equal parts.

_____

<em>Additional comments</em>

It is often helpful to consider the total number of "ratio units" in a given ratio. For example, in this problem, the shorter segment is 2/9 of the whole, and the longer one is 7/9 of the whole.

It can also be useful to consider what a "ratio unit" represents. If the whole segment is 27 inches long, then each of the 9 ratio units will represent 3 inches, for example. This means the division 2:7 is 2(3 in):7(3 in) = 6 in : 21 in.

<u>Geometry</u>

  • Complementary Angles - Angles that add up to 90°

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Set Up Equation</u>

<em>The 2 angles must add up to 90°.</em>

(8m + 4)° + 38° = 90°

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>m</u></em>

  1. Combine like terms:                    8m + 42 = 90
  2. Isolate <em>m</em> term:                             8m = 48
  3. Isolate <em>m</em>:                                      m = 6

Find the value of x. *<br><br> 50 PTS!<br><br> 5<br> 25<br> 5√2<br> 50
Aneli [31]

Answer:

  • Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this with the help of Pythagoras theorem.

  • => (√50)² = x² + x²
  • => √50 x √50 = x² + x²
  • => 50 = 2x²
  • => 25 = x²
  • => x = 5

Hence, the value of x is 5 units.
